flickrYou've heard of the one-child policy, now get ready for the one-dog policy.

Shanghai has introduced legislation to limit dog ownership in the overcrowded city, according to China Daily. Anyone caught with an unlicensed dog would be fined $150 dollars -- a prohibitive cost for many Chinese.

The city is also overrun with wild dogs, with over 100,000 dog attacks each year.
